As a rough guess?
Let's just assume there are exactly 17 people in the world using darktable. It doesn't really matter if it's 10 or 10 million. We don't develop this software to please as many people as possible or to get new users. Even if we lost users due to a change that we consider right we wouldn't lose our sleep over. So feel free to guesstimate our userbase, but since that is more guessing than estimating and since there is no way to verify the result I will keep thinking that I work for 16 others. ;-) > Cheers > > Michael And you are one of them!
